There are thousands of failed altcoin projects by now, the names are starting to be like old domain names. The development team acquired the rights to the name from a small abandoned crypto project "Dashcoin" although it was never intended to use the suffix "coin".
Thus we are now DASH, but thanks for watching our backs, it is all taken care of though.
It's still a considerable flattery though. Think about it.... I doubt Andreas, Gavin, or even Evan knew about Dashcoin, before this episode. Let alone "Joe" the neighbour. All this "heat" we're getting speaks volumes.
People (considerably younger I suspect) are too absorbed with all this. They "think" within the realms of bitcointalk, exchanges, coindmarketcap, coindesk, letstalkbitcoin, yadda yadda yadda...
And forget there is an entire planet out there, that is real, palpable, in need of a revolutionary change.
